Fox 8 has a story on its website about a local clergyman who spoke out on a few transgender bills in the General Assembly.
It was Rabbi Fred Guttman of Temple Emanuel on Jefferson Road in Greensboro, who proclaimed that he had three transgender members of his congregation; and apparently that was why the General Assembly ought not pass the bills in question.
Some of us recall when Joe Biden years ago gave credit to America's progressive/socialist Jewish community for providing critical, game-changing support for the enactment of the LGBT agenda in various ways. This type of activism is entirely consonant with several of the essential components of the contemporary Jewish worldview: cultural relativism, sexual liberationism and secularism. And of course, one of the goals of cultural Marxism is the obliteration of the traditional family unit which would then facilitate further Marxist revolution.
There are a couple of questions to raise, however.
First, why did the local Fox station grant a megaphone to this particular member of the clergy, out of perhaps THOUSANDS in the Piedmont Triad, to give him a larger voice on this issue? Surely there must be conservative/orthodox members of the clergy who also have strong feelings on this topic; and who rightfully recognize that the LGBT agenda is in opposition to God's will, and also inherently anti-Christian.
Second, we now understand that this particular Jewish congregation has three transgender members. Why should that compel the state of North Carolina to force girls to shower and dress and play sports with biological boys? Why should that force health care professionals to provide treatments that violate their conscience? Those are, after all, the kinds of issues addressed in the legislation discussed.
The good rabbi proclaims, "Shame on them." But he need not worry because his point of view will likely prevail. The Republicans, after all, ultimately run away from issues such as these like terrorized alley cats. Stick to dollars and cents and economic issues, they rationalize, and don't take political risks. Let the culture remain in the sewer; and allow living circumstances for Christian families within the state to continue to decline. That is the Republican formula.
TC: The N&R gives Guttman ink any time he has something progressive to say. It is a steaming love affair.
Thus it is no surprise that Fox 8 gave him this soap box.

Fred, you are right about the N&R. We were supposed to believe, however, that Fox provided a somewhat more conservative alternative to the corrupt mainstream media. That increasingly turns out not to be the case.
But again, I ask, where is the highlighted voice of conservative/orthodox clergy? Even on a local Fox channel?
